INTEGRAL contributions to magnetars and multimessenger astrophysics

Abstract

The INTEGRAL satellite, in orbit since October 2002, has significantly contributed to the study of magnetars and, thanks to its unique capabilities for the study of transient gamma-ray phenomena, it is now playing an important role in multimessenger astrophysics. The most recent results include the discovery of a peculiar burst from SGR J1935+2154, which gave the first observational evidence for the connection between magnetars and fast radio bursts, and extensive searches for bursting activity in peculiar sources, such as the repeating FRB 20200120E in M81 and the ultra-long period magnetar candidate GLEAMX J162759.5--523504.3.
